“Is an extreme urge to nap in the afternoon a problem?”
I have a tendency to nap in the afternoon. I feel very tired if I am not able to get an afternoon sleep. But I don't know anyone else my age who does this. Because I work two part time jobs I have the perfect amount of time to nap. Is it not normal?

The nap is not a problem. The extreme sleepiness might be a problem. You're not supposed to be really sleepy during the day. The most common cause for this is not getting enough sleep! Try sleeping an hour longer every day for at least 10 days and see if the need to nap abates. If it does, that is your answer. If it doesn't there may or may not be a sleep problem, but it would be worth seeing a sleep physician.
